Chapter 188 What about things?(1/2)
The next day, I arrived at the place agreed upon with Brother Hu and met the female Feng Shui master.
To be honest, this is the first time I have seen women working in this industry in real life (not counting the great dancers in the Northeast), and I am still quite curious.
The first time I saw her, I frowned slightly. Not because of anything else, but because of the yin energy in her body, which could be seen from a long distance away.
A normal person with so much yin energy in his body must not live long. I think as a Feng Shui master, she will understand this truth, but she is still so confident that she either relies on it or gives up.
"Hello, my name is Lin Yi."
Out of politeness, I said hello to the female Feng Shui master in a friendly manner.
The female Feng Shui master didn't have any airs, she smiled at me and said, "Just call me Xiaomeng."
Brother Hu also smiled and introduced us to each other, "You two should get familiar with each other. I'll leave it to you two to deal with Shigu Village."
"Just leave it to me." Xiao Meng smiled confidently, "Let this be my entrance exam."
I raised my eyebrows and said, "Are you new here?"
"That's right." Xiaomeng nodded, "I used to work alone, but recently I learned that there are organizations in our industry."
"By the way, how long have you been here?" Xiao Meng looked at me curiously and asked;
I smiled bitterly, "I haven't been here long, and I don't plan to join in yet."
"Huh?" Xiaomeng's eyes widened immediately, "Then how did you get involved in this matter?"
I touched my nose nonchalantly. I couldn't say that I wanted to see what the female Feng Shui master looked like.
Fortunately, Brother Hu seemed to notice that I was a little embarrassed and took the initiative to take over the topic, "I asked Lin Yi to help. Although Lin Yi is not old, his Yin skills are not weaker than others."
"No, no." I waved my hands repeatedly, good guy, this is flattering. If I admit it directly, if something like this comes to me in the future, should I agree or not?
Since you are so powerful, if I come to you for help in the future, if I don’t help, doesn’t it mean that you are just showing up?
I took a breath and looked at Brother Hu, "Since you are already here, tell me everything about that village and let us be prepared."
"This is my negligence." Brother Hu nodded, "Shigu Village is named after a huge stone drum in the middle of the village. The first accident happened about half a year ago, and an old man and a young man died at the same time.
few."
"Everyone didn't pay much attention at the time and just thought it was a coincidence. But when the second and third teams appeared, everyone finally became a little scared."
"No matter how careful I am about running away or being careful, a pair will appear on the 15th of every month without exception."
"So far, six teams have appeared, that is, twelve people. Apart from the rule of one old and one young, the people here have no other rules. There is a high probability that there is no one."
"There are only three days left until the 15th of this month. Whether we can solve this matter depends on these three days."
After listening to what Brother Hu said, there was no expression on my face. Although it was slightly different from what I said yesterday, overall it was not a big problem.
After hearing this, Xiao Meng's face showed no fear, but showed a look of interest, and then said with some excitement: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly."
After saying that, he took the lead and ran forward.
After a while, Xiaomeng ran back a little embarrassed, "What, how are we going to get there?"
Brother Hu suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, but he still had to be patient and said: "Our people will take you to the entrance of the village, and you will need to do the rest."
As he spoke, he pointed to a commercial vehicle parked nearby.
"So good." Xiao Meng was a little fussed, "I used to have a hard time going by train. When I encountered remote places, if I was lucky, I would bump into Bengbeng, but if I was unlucky, I could only walk there."
Brother Hu didn't want to pay attention to this arrogant female Feng Shui master, but looked at me and pondered for a moment, "I will give you 20,000 yuan of the 50,000 yuan I promised you yesterday, and I will do the rest.
I'll give it to you when you're done. Then if you have anything to prepare, I'll do it for you together."
"What?"
Before I could say anything, Xiao Meng who was standing aside suddenly pushed me away. I was caught off guard and almost fell down. I faintly heard Xiao Meng standing in front of Brother Hu asking in a very excited tone.
: "How much did you give him for this trip? Fifty thousand?"
Brother Hu was also startled. It took him a long time to calm down and said, "Is there anything wrong with this?"
"The problem is too big!" Xiaomeng said with an expression of a big loss: "Why did you give him 50,000 yuan while I only had 3,000 yuan?"
"He gave you a little more because it was a favor, but your trip this time was considered a vote for a certificate of honor. The nature is different, and the money is also different."
"Then I won't join, just give me 50,000 yuan." Xiao Meng said very neatly;
Brother Hu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said incredulously: "Do you know how many people want to join but can't get in, and you are willing to give up this opportunity for tens of thousands of dollars?"
Xiao Meng glanced at me sideways, "Then why doesn't he join? I think it's because you guys are too dark that he doesn't want to come in!"
I touched the nose of the client who was inexplicably cured and said aloud: "I don't want to join because I'm used to freedom and not used to having an organization to restrain me. It doesn't matter how much money it costs."
"Then it's a bit unfair to give you 50,000 yuan and give me 3,000 yuan!" Xiao Meng pouted.
"Didn't you think three thousand was a lot at first?" Brother Hu looked at Xiao Meng and said angrily: "Generally, the first task of a newcomer is without money. I gave you the three thousand at my expense.
Jincai’s application was successful, if you don’t want it, just give it back to me!”
Xiaomeng hesitated, "I already have the money, so there's no reason to give it back!"
"Forget it, just three thousand, just think of me as doing something good."
After saying that, Xiao Meng quickly opened the car door, not giving Brother Hu time to regret.
I sighed faintly. "Where did you recruit this person from? Is it too late for me to regret quitting now?"
Brother Hu gave me a helpless look, then patted my shoulder and sighed, "If nothing else, Xiaomeng's yin arts are quite superb."
I glanced at him and saw that I had no better choice at the moment, so I could only walk to the business car silently.
When I got in the car, I vaguely saw Brother Hu waving his shoulders vigorously at the driver, looking like he wanted us to leave quickly.
Take it as it comes, and now that you're in the car, be prepared to face what's next.
As soon as I sat down, Xiaomeng came up to me and said with lingering fear: "Brother Hu didn't say anything after I left, right?"
"I didn't say anything." I looked at Xiao Meng's nervous look and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's only three thousand yuan, no matter what, Brother Hu won't take it back."
"What do you know?" Xiaomeng rolled her eyes at me angrily, "I don't think someone like you who can earn tens of thousands at a time is qualified to tell me "just" three thousand yuan!"
"I was not born to get so much thirty thousand." I looked at Xiaomeng and said calmly: "When I first started to make a living, I would be happy for a long time if someone gave me a fifty thousand!"
"When I first came out, I couldn't even earn fifty." Xiao Meng said faintly.
I'm not talking. If I keep talking about it like this, I won't be able to figure it out until the place is full. It's better to save some energy to deal with the incident in Shigu Village.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Xiao Meng wanted to say something at first, but after thinking about it, she closed her mouth and began to think deeply.
Time flies, and soon, during our rest, the commercial vehicle has arrived at the entrance of Shigu Village.
"Ahem, you two, I will send it here. I will leave the rest to you two." The driver turned around and said to us;
Xiaomeng opened her eyes and was a little curious, "Why don't you go in with us? What if we want to go back then?"
The driver shrugged, "Then you need to figure it out yourself."
Xiaomeng was a little angry, "Why are you like this? We worked so hard to solve the problem, but in the end no one came to pick us up. Is this what Brother Hu meant?"
The driver said solemnly: "This has nothing to do with Brother Hu, this is the organization's rule."
"What kind of rule is this? I..."
Before Xiao Meng finished speaking, I pulled her out and said, "If you have any dispute with a driver, it's not up to him alone."
"This is mainly because we are afraid that some strange things will get mixed in between us, and we may even be replaced. We also do this for the safety of the driver."
"This..." Xiao Meng, who was originally angry, was stunned for a moment when he heard my words, then showed a hint of embarrassment, walked up to the driver, and said like a mosquito, "I'm sorry, I don't understand..."
The driver was an ordinary man who looked to be in his forties. Most people at this age who are still working outside are not from very good families.
The weather-beaten driver was stunned for a moment when he heard Xiaomeng's apology. In his heart, he believed that our group of people were all big shots, and they were the ones he could never afford to offend.
But he didn't expect that such a being would apologize to him for just a few words. For a moment, the driver seemed a little flattered.
"Don't...it's okay...I..." The driver was at a loss, looking like he wanted to step forward but didn't dare.
I sighed quietly on the side, stepped forward and grabbed Xiaomeng, and then said lightly to the driver: "You go back first, there is nothing wrong with you this time."
Hearing my words, the driver breathed a sigh of relief. Then he nodded gratefully to me, stepped on the accelerator, and the commercial car sped away like an arrow from a string.
As if he was escaping from something.
Xiaomeng pouted, a little unhappy. "I sincerely apologize to him, why is he like this?"
I took a look at Xiao Meng, and the reason why she had this mentality was because she thought she and the driver were equal. There was no one who was better than the other.
But what she doesn't know is that others may not think so. There is a saying in ancient times, which is that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.
Maybe you are smiling with the other person on the surface and have no airs at all, but secretly you order his entire family to be killed.
Although Xiaomeng hasn't reached that point yet, there's nothing wrong with people not wanting to interact with you.
"Okay, let's go, let's go to the village first." I waved to Xiao Meng, and my mood inexplicably became a little better.
Xiaomeng is not the ignorant, self-centered young lady I thought at first.
But she has relatively little experience, and her whole person looks a bit silly and sweet. I really can't imagine how she grew to be so big in this dangerous world.
And from what Brother Hu said, he admired her Feng Shui skills very much.
